Hannie wanted to make some gifts for her friends and we needed some gifts for some tween and teen cousins, so we sat down one afternoon and made a couple of presents. Felt bow rings for Hannie's friends and a necklace and ring set for the cousins. I ordered all the supplies off etsy or ebay and they are super reasonable.....and if you don't want to put felt bows on them....you could do anything you want on the front of them. We got 20 ring backs for about $5 (they are even cheaper in larger ... View the Post

$5 Christmas: Placemats
I am making up the 98 cents today. These placemats cost $4 and look like they cost a lot more. {Don't you love projects like that?} I used these placemats from the dollar store that I walked by several times and then finally went back to pick them up.

(And they have a list of all of their games, the rules and needed supplies HERE. The list is huge and there are tons of fun ... View the Post
$5 Christmas: A Christmas Tree Skirt
Ok...I am breaking the bank on the first day. Sorry. This project actually cost me $5.98 for the drop cloth, I had everything else. But, I promise I will make up the 98 cents.....next time! The inspiration for this tree skirt came from this Pottery Barn pillow which I think is darling and the drop cloth idea from Miss Mustard Seed. Although I thought hers ruffle tree skirt was a drop cloth--it's not, it's linen--that was my failure to read ;) The other funny thing is I had remembered ... View the Post
